This book was released on 1998 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study represents the most comprehensive comparative analysis to-date of the migration potential in eleven countries of Central and Eastern Europe. For the first time a distinction is drawn between short-term temporary migration, long-term temporary migration and permanent emigration, and that distinction leads the authors to minimize long-standing fears of large immigration waves to EU countries. The research also explores various factors accounting for different patterns of migration potential, including geographical location, migrant networks, unemployment rate, and GDP per capita and past migration experiences. In addition to general comparisons, the survey provides detailed data in each of the countries studied.
